Dar/Nairobi. A ground-breaking HIV clinical trial in Africa has demonstrated that some women can control the virus without antiretroviral therapy for extended periods after receiving a combination of treatments, raising hope for a possible breakthrough in the near future.
The clinical trial, dubbed FRESH and conducted in Durban, South Africa, revealed that four out of 20 women with acute HIV infection have remained off antiretroviral therapy for approximately 18 months while maintaining undetectable viral loads and normal CD4 counts.
